After months of having no problem running Streambaby on my Mac Mini (OSX 10.8.4) i am getting the "can't assign requested address" error. This happens whether I put in the right address or comment it out.

I suspect this is due to a Java issue, because I think the last time Streambaby worked I was using version 6.something. When I look at my Java Preferences pane, it says I am at version 7, Update 25. I have read somewhere here that version 7 doesn't play well with Streambaby. Do I need to go back to version 6? I am told that that using anything older than 7 is risky.

Although I am an IT professional with decades of experience in windows and unix, I'm a newbie when it comes to OSX as well as java, so "talk to me like I'm a 5th grader" if the fixes involve anything along the lines of tinkering deeply with OSX or java.

Streambaby failed over the weekend (TIVOHD & OSX 10.8.5) -
So I went back and forth trying to remove 7 and enable Java 6
but it didn't seem to be happening - so - I gave up and just deleted the java module,

After I did that I type java -version into terminal and it said no file or directory with that name ...
THEN I downloaded and installed the latest-greatest from Oracle - Java 7u40 (64 bits) ...

I dinked with the ini file a bit, rebooted and - its working again, now with Java 7 ...
now when I type java -version in a terminal window, I get

Always I would be able to stream videos by just selecting the "Same" [quality]. But this week I decided to install Streambaby on my new Mac Mini. For a frustrating day I kept getting the "Failed to Open Stream" error ... Finally I figured out the workaround - you just have to adjust the Quality value to be anything but "Same"

I have fought my way through the OS X 10.8.x/java7/java6 problems, finally got back to working again, but have arrived at where you are (or were?).

I'm happy to be here! Minor problem as compared to not working at all.

But did you ever solve this?

I'm also no longer able to fast forward (beyond the green line) like I did with older Mac OS's and previous versions of Java.

But, as I said, at least it's working. Basically, for the other problems I cleaned house as best I could with Java, deleted everything, installed a developer version of java 7, then overlaid version 6 (but still pointing to 7).

I've tried those terminal commands and am not having any luck. I'm still getting that same identical error that Jayrcee pasted above.

Any other ideas, anyone?

Edit: I got it working by a freak accident: manually starting it like this:
navigating in terminal to (streambaby directory)/jbin and doing "java -jar streambaby.jar" as opposed to the
"java -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Xmx256m -jar "$DIRNAME/jbin/streambaby.jar" found in the streambaby file that runs. I'm not adept enough at this stuff to figure out why this works, and this note/edit is partly so that I don't forget how I did it tomorrow night...

This is using the latest version, btw - I downloaded a fresh copy.

Sir, I am in your debt.....after trying 10 different ways to get rid of that error, I found the trick you stumbled on ...and it worked like a charm. I am very grateful...in playing around with the file I found that the original file works fine if you eliminate the -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true parameter. Can anyone tell me why that parameter no longer works?

I never solved this....I use the fastest speed I can get away with, but SAME no longer works.

Like you, I cannot Fast Forward beyond the green line. The only workaround I have found is I first set the speed to the slowest rate (Very Slow or something like that) and that allows the green line to move forward the fastest (I was getting a 5 to 1 ratio, of 5 minutes forward per minute). Then when I get where I want to be, I go backwards a few minutes to give the buffer time to adjust and I go back to the menu and choose the speed I want. It's a kluge but at least it works.

I installed mavericks on my mac Pro (Early 2009) today. Checked my TIVOHD and no streambaby visible ...
Did the procedure in the quote below and removed the JavaAppletPlugin.plugin file
Then i went to oracle and located the current latest greatest -https://www.java.com/en/download/mac....jsp?locale=en

After I downloaded and installed it, I popped open a terminal window and typed "java -version"
and it showed the OLD file still - so at that point I ran the following two sudo commands in Terminal window

I also just checked the TIVOHD and now I see streambaby again ...
So, this confirms that the "old" streambaby works under OSX 10.9

WooHoo!!

Ok, although I don't see what the spam is, its just jiberish. I did not recognize it as spam. and if it was it got through to everyone that is subscribed.
Thank you

It's got web links embedded in the jibberish. How many links a site has going back to it from other sites is one of the ways Google and other search engines determine ranking. So an unscrupulous site owner spams a bunch of forums, where the links will all show up on a number of pages, and be seen by a large number of people. And then the bad site goes up higher in the search results. That's the general idea anyway. In practice, Google, et al, are aware of this and have ways of detecting gibberish from legitimate conversation, and most busy sites are also on top moderating things so the junk doesn't stay up long.

I don't mind that limit - its works out to about 45 mins per buffer-full on our current TIVOHD system ... Sounds like a good plan to get the price match on a Tivo Roamio at BestBuy today, order a 3TB WD drive and get it online for Christmas!

When streaming a 720p video (Video=3.764Kbps) the Tivo does not keep up if I let it stream at SAME. If I change to Highest - 5000 Kb/s then it streams without buffering issues, but the quality is way down.

The file is a 43 min show and 1.4GB, but it rebuffers at 21min for some reason so maybe it is actually higher than 3.765Kbps when sent to the TIVO.

Since it's MKV container streambaby is probably re-encoding the video to mpeg2 on the fly which is why it's slow. You should remux to mp4 container or use pyTivo instead with ts=on setting for best possible quality transfer. (Actually I'm not sure if pyTivo ts=on works for series 3 units or not since mine are all sitting in closets).
